Black Betty/In-line Reels

Try the self bonding silicone plumbing tape...doesn't leave any marks and ruin your nice cork handles like electric tape does or lose its stickiness getting wet or in cold temps, I've been using it for a few years now on my TUCR's and really like it.

Great idea thank you.

Picture of what I was mentioning;

(just trim off the smaller loop)

Just another option is to use friction tape; it stands up longer than electrical. Over time it becomes a rock solid band holding your reel.
And, if you use white, you can write the lb test of the line spooled on the tape..... How many times someone asks what line is on the reel? "Um. It's either 4 or 6 lb test....!"

They have the above hook and loop on Amazon....here is the link.
